Fuel system planning
Fuel system planning Hey all, it will be a while till I get to this stage of my build but I figured I could get some planning done now and maybe snag a few deals off the classifieds. The build I'm planning on running with is a basically stock 5.3 custom grind cam, speed engineering A body long tubes and a torquestorm supercharger. They're rated around 6 to 8 psi. Some claim around 10 psi.
The car is a 1968 pontiac lemans. So here's my few questions. What size injectors, and what size pump? Do I get just a plain regulator or a boost referenced one? As far as the pump goes, in line vs in tank? I have yet to take my tank out but just by looking at it, it looks pretty good and wouldn't mind keeping it. Not sure if there's an easy tank from another car or something I can just swap in and use that as iv just not done alot of research on that thus far. Anyways any help would be appreciated. Thanks for your time

In tank vs external is preference. In tank it quieter and more expensive if you don't already have a tank setup for it.
Referenced vs not referenced is preference as well. If your injectors are large enough to not need the extra fuel pressure, then you shouldn't be that worried about referencing it.
Any injectors over 60 lbs or pump 340 lph or more will do fine.
